what a great chapter, and I do love the comparison betweeen Vicky and Henry and Buffy and Spike. (By the way I LOVED Henry, and always wanted them to be together) I loved her hypothetical question, I guess we can all see what she is thinking about, and it gave Spike a chance to tell her the things he is feeling and wanting without sounding like a jerk. The cuddling was just so sweet, and I honestly can't wait to see what she does to Angel's sleazy, Irish arse !!! Great job and thanks so much......Hope you had a great day today. Hugs Debbie

Author's Response: Glad you liked the parallels, and I too am rooting for Vicky and Henry, I mean hello - they would set the whole of Canada on fire should they ever hit the sheets - drools. Angel will definitely get hi, but it will be awhile - sighs, I need just the right way to bring about his comeuppance so that the end justifies the means, hee hee. Thanks for the fab review my friend - kisses.

They sure made giant steps in this chapter.. sleeping on the couch, true confesstions .. All the cuddling.... surprised.

Waiting to hear why Buffy is so down about her relationship with Riley... will she tell Spike about it so he will have the key?

And I don't think Buffy wants to get rid of all of Spike's stripes.. enjoyed the update..and would love more during the week..

Happy Mother's Day.. didn't think you would update..

Author's Response: Yeah, they really did go far this weekend ina lot of ways. Buffy's relationship with Riley won't be explained for awhile yet, sorry, but it relly is a timing thing - my own plan within a plan, *winks*. LMAO - nah, Buffy wouldn't want to get rid of all of SPikes stripes, just the womanizing ones - cuz most girls do enjoy a bad boy, giggles. Thanks for the mothers day wishes and for the review darling - hugs you tight.

ok I am sooo feeeling this story. I really like the convo they are having. They are actually trying to get to know each other and get past the superficial bullshite. Good writing and thursday works for me but wed would be better. hahahahaha

Author's Response: Finally, right? I felt it was time they began to set aside their ugly bantering past and explore the possibilities, so I'm glad you liked the chapter. LOL - I'd post wed, but I had a busy first half of the week going on - but it will be updated this thursday, I promise. Thank you for the review boo - huggles.

Wow, they put it out in the open and still didn't get together. Are they waiting for some sort of bright star in the North Sky? A new chapter on Thursday would be a gift. You better not be teasing us. Really, please could we have a new chapter before the weekend? Pretty please with a naked Spike on it.

Author's Response: Hahahahhaah - call them clueless and scared, but they'll get there, I promise - it's spuffy after all. ooooo - naked spike on top - oh yes, you'll get your update this thursday, I promise - thanks for the fab review darling - snuggles.

You know I don't mind helping you any way I can, sweetie. It's fun to work like we did today, especially when we're both heavily medicated. *rofl* Wonderful chapter, very awwwww-worthy, I was melting right along with Buffy at how much Spike has changed, how he treats her. *happy sigh* And she's already noticing all those changes and giving in a little bit. I'm very glad she's already realized Angel is not for her and Spike might be. ;) I'm looking forward to more, very soon! *smooches*

Author's Response: Oh, but I was a pain in the ass to deal with that day and we both know it, bad Tina. But we were both medicated pretty good, so I suppose we can blame it on the meds, hee hee. Thank you again so much from the bottom of my heart carino - you're the best. Yes, looks like Angel will be seeing the door soon and spuffy goodness will be slowly working its magic in bringing our couple together. Thanks again for everything boo - luv you.
